I’d go against the grain and say buy from dealers, from your posts sounds like you are nervous about buying and knowing if it is fake or real. Don’t acid test as if it’s a premium coin will erode the value. Numerous fakes have been sold on here in the past 10 years unbeknown to the seller and buyer. Mostly American and Saudi coins. Not to say they aren’t gold but just very good copies. I wouldn’t bother with silver as hard to shift and cost of sending too high. Bullion gold from chards/Atkinsons/Hatton garden metals will be best for you until you get more experience

I think maybe £10/20 upturn, that will be In reaction to the smack down Friday, Isreal done something, iran reacted but knowing it wouldn’t do any damage. Ball in Isreal court if they do nothing will be ok, if the retaliate skys the limit. America normally in charge when comes to wars but this time Isreal just do what they like. America 100% backing Isreal at moment but they were with Ukraine at the start until it was hitting them in the pocket. Isreal got people talking about Iran now rather than the famine and destruction of Gaza

Haven’t bought or sold one forum for a long time but historically members are tight so like a good deal. Even with all the talk about cost averaging and keep on stacking I’m not sure how many will but their money where their mouth is at the moment. If you have been stacking for a few years you will have made a nice chunk on them so if sold the qb at spot you will still be up. Haven’t kept an eye on the beasts but some of them were going for £100’s over spot in the past but think you’d struggle to get that not but like I said I haven’t been in the market for a while

After being here for 10 years some advice, don’t get carried away too quickly the deal will come up again and again if you wait long enough. Gold is at an all time high so easy to get carried along on the band wagon. This has pulled many people in many times. I’d wait a month to buy first coin after researching for that time. Because once you start buying it’s hard to stop

Who remembers the member who was here. Sold gold to buy Bitcoin, sold bitcoin when went to $20k, bought a fair few kg of gold again. Gold jumped. Sold gold bought house got questioned about tax then disappeared. That was someone that traded his way up. think he was buying initially for £750/Oz. Would be interesting what is worth more now, property, gold or Bitcoin. Think he was high up in post office so might have other things to think about now

Do you have the option of not excepting it then will get sent back to the royal mint and you’ll get money back

I’m right out it for price as was hoping for £7k raw, looks like will be keeping for a while

Time has come to look into selling my set. Any recent sales? I can find some for sale but not sold prices. Going to be realistic in selling price as want to be fair to both parties. But happy to keep if no interest and the right price

Also caught out with this tonight, can’t see it on terms and conditions which is disappointing as £150 nectar vouchers to spend.

Haven’t read all the thread but a few things, If Atkinson’s can’t tell if it’s real the seller wouldn’t know it might not be. If Atkinsons are offering £200 for it and it’s 97% gold they are trying to rip you off If atkinsons can’t tell if it’s real they don’t really deserve business as they could buy and sell coins like this.

Probably find it somewhere here on today I received……. About 7 years ago

Few years ago HGM sold 2015 sovs for £200 when spot for them was £217. I ended up with 5 and they honoured them. Few weeks later they had 1oz coins come up under spot again but they cancelled the order. Back then they also did a Black Friday deal where all stock was 1% over spot so stocked up with 1/10’s. Since HGM changed their business selling model I just don’t bother looking at them any more.

20% on topcashback. So can get gold under spot. Nothing in terms saying can’t use on coins or bullion

Anyone taken advantage of 20% top cash back yet?

That’s a pity. Think had 20 times nectar points last year
